Changes to Colorado’s COVID-19 dial framework are giving Blackhawk casinos a double dose of good luck — allowing them to increase capacity just in time for one of the biggest sports betting days of the year.

Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced changes to the metrics that determine dial level this week.

Under the new guidelines, Gilpin County will move from Level Orange to Level Blue. Casinos in Blackhawk can now operate at 50% capacity or 175 people max — an increase from 25% capacity.
